2 SYSTEM DESIGN Configuration There are two basic ways the Microphone Adapter may be used: 1. It may be used with a V-1094A and Valcom one-way amplified speaker assemblies as a stand alone paging system. When using the for access to a stand alone paging system, the following will be required: 1 Microphone Adapter 1-Microphone (push to talk) 1 V-1094A Booster Control Valcom one-way amplified speaker assemblies (type determined by job requirements) Power Supply (type determined by style and quantity of speakers - Consult the Valcom One-Way Paging VSP for more information) 2. By using the with a V-2001A One Zone Page Control you may automatically disconnect the speakers of one zone from a multi-zone page adapter and allow microphone access to that zone. These configurations will allow the microphone to override the telephone access. NOTE: These will work only on a zone of ONE-WAY paging. Power Supply V-1094A Amplified Speakers FIGURE 1 BLOCK DIAGRAM OF A TYPICAL INSTALLATION When using the to override an existing zone of telephone accessed one-way paging, the following will be required: 1 Microphone Adapter 1-Microphone (push to talk) 1 V-2001A One Zone Page Control OR An existing Valcom one-way page system Other configurations are possible. Contact Technical Support (540) with questions on specific applications. Microphone Requirements A standard high impedance (50,000 Ohms) or low impedance balanced (600 Ohms) microphone may be used. The microphone will be required to provide a dry contact closure (push to talk) for page access. See Figure 3 for connections to Valcom V-400/450 or V-420 Microphones. INSTALLATION These instructions cover the installation procedures for the Valcom and any associated Valcom equipment. Please consult practices for other manufacturer's equipment if any other equipment is being used. Refer to Figure 2 for location of connector connections and designations. The following sections contain step-by-step instructions for wiring the and associated Valcom equipment. Place a check on the appropriate line as the instruction is completed. The instructions also include tests along the way to verify connections have been made correctly. If these steps are followed exactly, installation of your Valcom system will go smoothly and quickly. If the results of a test do not correspond with what is shown, DO NOT PROCEED UNTIL THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN CORRECTED. NOTE: During initial system setup it is recommended that all volume controls be set 1/2 turn clockwise. Mounting Using two #6 ¾ inch wood screws, mount the unit in a convenient location near the microphone location NOTE: DO NOT locate the closer than 18 inches to a power supply or any equipment that generates electrical noise. 2

3 Power Connections Unplug power supply. Connect -24VDC "A" battery (may be referred to as "-" or "talk battery") from power supply to one of the PWR terminals on the. Connect -24VDC Ground ("A" ground, "+" or "talk" ground) from power supply to the other power terminal. This should be properly grounded to an earth ground to alleviate hum on the system. Connecting Arrangements NOTE: Place a check by the Arrangement being used and proceed to the Figure indicated for step-by-step instructions Stand alone page system: Proceed to Figure 3. Override an individual zone using a V-2001A: Proceed to Figure 4.

6 OPERATION Circuit Description The Microphone Adapter has inputs for both high impedance and balanced low impedance microphones. It also has input for a push to talk contact closure. When the closure is applied, a high gain pre-amplifier is turned on and the output relay is activated. The unit will stay active until the contact closure is removed. The preamplifier circuit also contains a voice limiting circuit to limit extremely loud inputs. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE When trouble is reported, verify that power is being supplied to the unit and there are no broken connections. Check voltages for proper polarity on the cross connect block. Table 1 identifies symptoms of some possible problems with solutions. If a spare unit is available, continue to troubleshoot by substituting the spare unit for the suspected defective unit. Assistance in troubleshooting is available from the factory. When calling, you should have a VOM, a test set available and call from the job site.
